Lost in the Tardis

Jonahlee.com is Jonah Lee Walker’s personal web domain where you can view his short films. This is a companion site to his company site for Whale of a Tale Productions.

Jonah Lee Walker is a Video Editor and Graphics artist living in North Hills, CA with his lovely wife Kelly Lynn Pancho Walker. He has worked on various projects from the Lord of the Rings extended DVD’s to commercials, reality shows and infomercials, and has extensive graphics experience especially with After Effects and it’s various plug ins.

The newest set of short on the site is The Misadventures of Macy Bear. This is more of series to show off some special effects and have some fun. The first 2 episodes were tests, but a third is in the works and will be released shortly which has a story, and a whole lof of effects. It was also started in Final Cut Pro 7 and ended up being finished in Adobe Premier Pro CS5.5 after the whole Final Cut Pro X debacle.

This is also where the Foam Hedz are based. The Foam Hedz are a series of episodes features Puppets created by Jonah and his college friend from the University of Southern California, School of Cinema and Television Production, Jared Baker. Jared currently works in Special Effects. The Foam Hedz have not been produced in a bit of time, but there are plans to do Band Interviews with the two puppets to bring the Foam Hedz in a new direction.

This was announced by Red Giant today. After losing the technology license behind Magic Bullet Denoiser they had to pull it earlier this year from their site, and promised a ground up re-write, and this is it, and even better it is a free upgrade.

Here is a list of features:

We’ve developed Magic Bullet Denoiser II from scratch (completely new code) to bring you the quality of Denoiser 1, but with more stability. Red Giant owns this code 100% – which means the product is not going anywhere.

We have spent lots of time developing the default settings for Denoiser II to give you the best possible look as soon as you apply. There’s is always room to tweak setting, but often you won’t need to.

Currently Denoiser II is only available for After Effects, but it will support multiple host apps in the future (readTHIS FAQ for more info).

Denoiser II is a Free Update for all Denoiser 1 and Magic Bullet Suite users. I repeat: If you already owned a license of Denoiser or bought the Magic Bullet Suite after Denoiser was discontinued, you get Denoiser II for FREE.

Red Giant has announced that they have lost the rights to the technology behind Magic Bullet Denoiser. It seems Google has bought Green Parrot Pictures, and they own the technology behind Magic Bullet. So the old version of Denoiser will still work, but you can no longer download it from their web site.

They are going to make a new Denoiser, Denoiser 2, which current owners will get for free, and they promise to get the same level of denoising.

I personally hope it is more stable than the previous version, as I often have a lot of problems with it.
